If you ever want to see a smile on my face, give me dessert. Want to see me look like the Cheshire cat then give me a big cupcake—red velvet to be exact. I was first introduced to distinctively delicious cupcakes when my friend Leticia took me to Sprinkles Cupcakes in Beverly Hills, CA. Since its start back in 2003, Sprinkles has become a national phenomenon thanks in part to great publicity. With support from celebs like Tyra Banks, Katie Holmes, Barbara Streisand, and being featured in major publications the brand has popped up everywhere and has become the leader in the cupcake craze. Minus about 1 inch of too much frosting the cupcakes are great. Add atop of that a cute and open store environment and you’re set. So when I saw the news about the company developing a convenient purchasing machine and expanding its product line to include ice cream I felt like I hit the jackpot!

Next door to its Beverly Hills location, Sprinkles is introducing the 24-Hour Sprinkles. The brightly colored ATM style machine (right) will dispense cupcake mixes, cupcakes, and apparel to anyone itching for that quick sugar fix at any time of the day. The unique invention is a great way to give people what they want and allow them to avoid the long, yet worthwhile, wait. Directly next to 24-Hour Sprinkles, Sprinkles Ice Cream(below) will sell hand-crafted ice cream alongside waffle cones, sundaes, homemade toppings, and freshly baked cookies. While the debut date hasn’t been announced yet, I can image the stores will be up and running just in time for summer. The addition of the dispensary and creamery next to the original Sprinkles makes it quite possibly the tastiest block in the 90210.
